I am watching the posts. My personal conclusion is:
For sure the 100 octane was present. But to me there is no evidence that the all fighters used 100 octane. How many is difficult to say.
If i was the developer i ll model the 100 octane, 87 octane, and C-3 for the Germans and let the mapmakers decide.
Obviously 100 octane was not a panacea and not one of the main reasons for the Luftwaffe failure. The battle was fierce and the acs were very well matched. RAF loses were great even with the 109s and Luftwaffe operating in the limits of its logistics and radius. In other scenarios the Spits were not so succesfull.
